Sedona’s Dark Sky Begins With DarkSky.org

Do you belong?

When SedonaFacts began writing about the Dark Sky requirements, we found that the posts had many of you considering becoming members of DarkSky.org.  Membership begins at $50/year.

Many people in Sedona want to see us achieve Dark Sky status.  What a wonderful thing to be the 3rd city in the US to gain such a status; and, with Flagstaff but the switchbacks away, we can learn from them.

We posted a letter from Kim Patten of the Interational Dark Sky Organization explaining the procedures a city must go through in order to apply for the designation.  We want to share more information with you about this great opportunity.                                                                                                                                     

 Left:  No          Right:  Yes

We are looking forward to learning from the DarkSky.org people just what we can do to keep Sedona’s beautiful night skies.

Join us at night with this interactive Sky Chart.

International Dark Sky Association Adds 2nd City…

The International Dark Sky Association (IDSA) adds Borrego Springs, California as the 2nd “Dark Sky” city.  The first is Flagstaff, AZ.

Congratulations to Borrego Springs from SedonaFacts.  “It takes a village” to do what is necessary to create an environmentally-friendly world.  But, everyone needs facts.  Everything must be considered when Communities make positive steps towards environmentally-friendly ordinances and committments.  It works when people work together.  It works when all variables are put on the table and all sides choose to work together for the stated outcome.  It takes give and take.  “It takes a village.”

Have a beautiful Sedona day!!
